7. “good design arises as much from the internal
structure of a company as from whether or not it’s a
priority” - Hartmut Esslinger
8. “I explained that to make design a core element of
Apple’s corporate strategy, it would have to be seen
as a leadership issue; world-class design can’t work
its way up from the bottom, watered down by the
motivations and egos of every layer of management it
passes through.” - Hartmut Esslinger
9. “…bottom-up design never succeeds, because even
good efforts by departments within such systems
remain insulated within the layers of the company’s
organizational structure and everything really
new, courageous and potentially game-changing
is destroyed by its passage through ‘the gates of
rejection.’” - Hartmut Esslinger
10. “Designers couldn’t simply be at the table: They had
to be in charge. Beautiful design requires designers in
charge.” - Hartmut Esslinger
12. In Charge: What I first thought
an “in charge” designer has to win awards
13. In Charge: What I thought next
an “in charge” designer has to tell the internet who’s in
charge
14. In Charge: What I thought next
an “in charge” designer doesn’t need help, or to be told what to do
15. In Charge: What I think now
its not about me. it’s not about control. its about the people
who use what I help make. its about being part of something,
something bigger than me. Lead, don’t control.
16. “Leadership is about encouraging acts of greatness...
Don’t take control, give control”
- David Marquet
20. Leadership
i think we’re afraid. i think we fear speaking up when we feel low on
the totem pole. we say “how can I lead when no one gives me the
opportunity”
21. “We need to fear the consequences of our work more
than we fear speaking up” - Mike Moneiro
22. Leadership
people struggle with feeling creatively satified. what they truely
want is to make a difference. to do that we need to be surrounded
by our tribe, people that have similar goals and vision. if you don’t
have that now, find one, make one, join one.
27. Leadership Journey: Internal developer tribe
did I start a mini tribe? kinda, in a way. a tribe of developers that
would watch the logs every time something was released to make
sure I didn’t mess up again.
28. Leadership Journey: Dev to UX
moved from front-end dev into user experience over the years.
asked for support and recieved it openly. i’ve been able to make
great things with great people because we work together.
43. Leadership Journey: Expert Profiles
